What did you do to/with your second gen today?

[Dodge96Ram]

96+ no longet has a sniff test, it's all done through the OBDII connector. From what i know, as long as you have no CEL, you pass that part of the inspection. You of course have to pass the safety inspection and an ABS or AirBag light WILL fail you. As far as engine swaps are concerned, the engine has to be out of the same year or newer vehicle and you are good to go. I guess you'll find out though! HEMI swap in a 2nd gen is awesome, i would love to do it.

Technically, it IS out of a newer vehicle Wonder if thats a gray area though. 98-Hemi youll have to let us know!

Hauled a ton of garbage off my uncles yard today, then brought some scrap metal back to my house to put in the pile. New tires going on tomorrow

Got the front bumper back on and adjusted after installing the 2" body lift under the cab. While removing the shift linkage rod i noticed i have a badly tusted steel fuel line. Line goes from the pump to the soft line right at the firewall. Having a lot of trouble finding a replacement :/

Thats a 2" suspension lift and 2" body lift. What size tires do you want to run?

 

[jbmobbs]

I've got a 4" suspension lift with 35s and my tires rub

I wanted to do a 2" body lift and a 2" front coil spring lift to give it a Tennessee tilt look. And change to 37s

Not going to happen. No way you will clear 37"s on a 4" lift.

 

[jbmobbs]

I already have a 4" lift. I wanted to add the 2" body lift and make it 6" then add the 2" front coil spring spacer which will make the front an 8" lift and the rear still 6" for the Tennessee tilt.

Plan to go long arm. Short arm is not going to work at 6"


Where do your 35"s rub with the 4" lift?

Yup it is out of a newer vehicle just a little newer than I think they had planned with that rule lol. I will definitely let you guys know what happens with it after tuesday.

The cab. I believe I can clear it with the body lift

I don't mind to add a long arm kit. My dad could make one for me he's a weld and fabricator for 35 yes lol

Yea i put my 35"s on with my 2" lift and they hit bad. I added the 2" BL in hopes it would be enough to clear the cab. I havent completed the fan shoud mod yet and i havent moded the shift linkage yet so i have not fired it up and turned the wheel. We'll find out soon enough.

Yes and no to short arms and 6"+ lift. I ran short arms for a couple of years with 7" lift and alignment was within spec. But they ride like S***, long arms are much better riding.
